Eric Miles Jr., 23, is facing charges in connection with an officer-involved shooting that police say started with a robbery – one Miles said he had nothing to do with.

"I was driving,” said Miles. “I was just driving, I was giving someone a ride, and then next thing I know, I'm getting shot at."

Brandon Burns is also charged in the robbery. Miles said he was just there to give burns a ride.

"(He was) supposed to be selling a cellphone to some guy, and the deal went bad I guess, and next thing I know, the guy taking off running," he said Friday.

Police said four suspects - including Miles and Burns - took off with a bag of cash.

They wouldn't stop for police, and investigators said that's when officers opened fire.

“I wasn't going to leave at first,” said Miles. "Until the car started getting shot at. Once bullets started coming in the car, and I felt that I got shot, I felt like my heart fell to my lap, and I just took off."
